The Genesis GV60 Magma pushes beyond traditional electric vehicle expectations by combining advanced engineering with immersive, driver-focused technologies. Designed to deliver a multi-sensory driving experience, this performance EV blends luxury, precision, and innovation into a cohesive package that reflects the brand’s evolving identity.
At the core of the GV60 Magma is a carefully curated ecosystem of intelligent systems that interpret driver intent and respond instantly—transforming every journey into a tailored performance experience.
GT and Sprint Modes: Tailored Performance at the Touch of a Button
A dedicated Magma button on the steering wheel unlocks two exclusive drive modes—GT (Grand Touring) and Sprint—each engineered for distinct driving scenarios.
GT Mode strikes a balance between comfort and performance. Acceleration is tuned for smooth, refined delivery, making it ideal for long-distance cruising at high speeds. Meanwhile, the electronically controlled suspension ensures stability without sacrificing ride comfort. All-wheel-drive calibration and optimized power distribution further enhance efficiency and driving range.
Sprint Mode, on the other hand, transforms the GV60 Magma into a performance-focused machine. Steering, suspension, motor output, and the electronic limited-slip differential (e-LSD) are all adjusted to their most aggressive settings. Traction is maximized through precise front-to-rear power distribution, delivering sharper handling and a more dynamic driving feel.
Intelligent Performance Integration with Auto Boost and Launch Control
One of the standout features of the GV60 Magma is its ability to seamlessly integrate multiple performance systems based on driver input.
Fully depressing the accelerator activates Auto Boost, delivering maximum power for up to 15 seconds without requiring additional actions. This instant surge of acceleration enhances overtaking and high-speed driving scenarios.
Sprint Mode further elevates performance through integrated features such as Launch Control. By pressing both the brake and accelerator pedals while stationary, the system engages a race-optimized battery management mode. This ensures ideal battery temperature and peak power delivery while also enhancing responsiveness through dynamic shift simulation.
Virtual Gear Shift: Bringing ICE Sensation to an EV
The GV60 Magma introduces an advanced Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) system, designed to recreate the tactile engagement of a traditional internal combustion engine.
By simulating the behavior of a high-performance V6 engine paired with an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, VGS delivers realistic shift patterns, sound, and feedback. The system adapts to each driving mode—offering smooth transitions in comfort settings and sharper, more aggressive shifts in Sprint Mode.
An added RPM Fuel Cut simulation enhances authenticity, mimicking the sensation of hitting a rev limiter during manual gear changes via paddle shifters. This feature provides a familiar, performance-oriented connection for enthusiasts transitioning to electric driving.
e-Active Sound Design Plus: Immersive Acoustic Feedback
To complement the VGS system, the GV60 Magma features e-Active Sound Design Plus (e-ASD+), an advanced audio system that enhances the driving experience through carefully engineered soundscapes.
Using additional external speakers positioned at the front and rear, the system projects dynamic audio profiles that align with the vehicle’s performance characteristics.
Drivers can choose between two distinct sound modes:
– A futuristic, high-performance EV sound inspired by motorsport showcases such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed
– A high-revving engine simulation that replicates the acoustics of a performance engine reaching up to 9,000 RPM
These sound profiles add emotional depth and engagement, reinforcing the vehicle’s high-performance identity.
A New Benchmark for Performance EV Engagement
The Genesis GV60 Magma demonstrates how electric vehicles can go beyond efficiency and sustainability to deliver genuine driving excitement. By integrating intelligent systems such as GT and Sprint modes, Auto Boost, Virtual Gear Shift, and immersive sound design, the model creates a cohesive and engaging driving environment.
This approach positions the GV60 Magma as a compelling option in the growing high-performance EV segment—where technology, luxury, and driver engagement are equally prioritized.
